Dong Bijun was like an elegant dancer, but also like a queen that came from the palace. With a reserved smile, she returned the greetings to all the guests that came to congratulate her and salute her. She was surrounded by layers upon layers of men and women, like stars surrounding the moon, and became the center of attention.
Xiao Zheng casually took two glasses of red wine and passed it to Lin Huayin. The two avoided the crowd and walked around the edge of the venue, then stopped at a spacious balcony where no one would disturb them.
"What a big face." Xiao Zheng clicked his tongue in wonder. "The people here are really rich and respectable. I already know a few tycoons from Pearl City. But at tonight's birthday banquet, they can only squeeze in the outer circle, and can't even get close to Auntie Dong. "
Lin Huayin only held the red wine expressionlessly, and didn't drink it. She remained silent.
"Do you think Shang Jingtian will come?" Xiao Zheng tried his best to liven up the atmosphere, and asked with a smile.
"I don't know." Lin Huayin was just in a bad mood, and it was never because of Xiao Zheng. On the contrary, how could she not know that Xiao Zheng took the initiative to approach her, and suffered in front of the revered couple, all because of her?
She restrained the emotions in her heart, and tried her best to control her tone, "They have always been at odds, and everyone knows that. It's boring to come, so it's better not to come. "
"Shang Jingtian didn't come." Xiao Zheng pursed his lips meaningfully. "But look who's coming?"
When Lin Huayin heard that, she turned to look in the direction that Xiao Zheng indicated.
Who's coming?
The Shang Yao who was ridiculed by thousands of people, but still managed to disguise herself perfectly and skillfully.
Shang Jingtian and Lin Chaotian were indeed at odds, but that didn't stop Shang Yao from coming to congratulate them. Even if in her heart, Dong Bijun was only a wild phoenix that had flown up the branches.
As the only daughter of Shang Jingtian, although Shang Yao had a bad reputation, as long as Shang Jingtian was still alive, as long as there was no direct evidence to prove that Shang Yao was not Shang Jingtian's daughter, but a bastard. Then she was destined to be a scene that could not be ignored in the Capital Circle. It didn't matter if the scenery was gorgeous or ugly.
"She's changed." Lin Huayin's red lips parted slightly as she spat out a sentence with a profound meaning.
"You can tell?" Xiao Zheng stole a glance at Lin Huayin and thought to himself, 'This woman is really smart.' He could see Shang Yao's transformation in an instant.
Lin Huayin pursed her lips: "The daughter taught by Shang Jingtian should not be the original her."
"This woman is very powerful." Xiao Zheng took a sip of the red wine and smiled. "A few days ago, I met her once. I almost got tricked by her. "
Lin Huayin nodded lightly and said: "Be careful in the future."
With Shang Yao's appearance, those who had nothing to do with her naturally had to give way. They made way for her and went straight to Dong Bijun.
The two women seemed to be old friends at first sight, and as if they were mother and daughter, they behaved very intimately. Xiao Zheng was dumbfounded and tongue-tied: "Old Lin, look at Shang Yao. Look at Shang Yao. She's clearly the enemy's woman, but she's as close as a family. You have to learn this. Generous! "
"Disgusting." Lin Huayin said expressionlessly.
"… A little." Xiao Zheng nodded in agreement.
There were two sides to everything. You can't say that generous people are not disgusting, right?
Most of the influential people in the business circle of Hua Xia were gathered at the banquet. These people had business dealings with Lin Chaotian, and also had a close relationship with Shang Jingtian. Therefore, Shang Yao was not isolated by the guests present. Instead, after leaving Dong Bijun's inner circle, she was immediately surrounded by people. Some praised her for her beauty, some praised her for being sensible. But most of them asked her to send their regards to Shang Jingtian.
Shang Yao finally got rid of the old men around her, and her sharp eyes immediately discovered a new continent.
Xiao Zheng!
And Lin Huayin!
She casually picked up a glass of wine, and slowly walked with elegant and calm steps towards the two people at the edge of the banquet.
"Boss Xiao, Boss Lin." Boss Lin, "Shang Yao said with a smile. "Why are you two hiding here?"
It seemed that as her father expected, this trip was not in vain. But she didn't know if there would be a good show.
But at the very least, from where the two people were standing at the moment, people could vaguely see some signs.
How could a daughter not go to congratulate her mother, but hide in a corner? Even if she was a stepmother, she couldn't lack the necessary etiquette, right?
Shang Jingtian had said that among the younger generation, Lin Huayin would be her biggest rival. And there was another sentence that Lin Huayin had said, and Shang Yao naturally had a deep understanding of it: how could the daughter that Lin Chaotian cultivated with care be bad?
"Quiet." Xiao Zheng raised his glass and smiled. "They are all important people, and we can't talk much in the past. Why don't we drink a glass of wine and chat here? "
Shang Yao looked at Xiao Zheng with a faint smile, and said meaningfully, "Even if you can hide here, Sister Lin shouldn't."
After saying that, she pouted and said with a solemn face, "Aunt Dong is Sister Lin's mother in name."
Xiao Zheng didn't need Shang Yao to remind him about this, because he had already thought of it. He wanted to urge Lin Huayin to go over and greet them after he finished his glass of wine, at least he would be polite. So as not to let others gossip.
After a pause, he said with a smile, "There are too many people now, and Old Lin is going to congratulate them later. It doesn't matter if we are family, let's not neglect our distinguished guests. "
Xiao Zheng's explanation was flawless, and Shang Yao had nothing to say. Just when she was about to change the topic and chat with this man and woman who had a close relationship with each other, Lin Huayin, who had been silent for a while, suddenly said in a cold voice, "When did I say that I would go over to congratulate them when there are fewer people?"
When these words came out, not only Shang Yao, even Xiao Zheng's jaw was crooked in shock. He didn't know why this cold woman would say that. Isn't this slapping me, Xiao Zheng, in the face? She really can't see the big picture!
He winked at him, hoping to salvage the situation before he made a fool of himself. Lin Huayin just looked at Shang Yao coldly, and said indifferently, "Shang Yao. You like to watch the fun? "
"What's there to see?" Shang Yao asked innocently. "I'm here to congratulate Aunt Dong on her 50th birthday."
Lin Huayin's eyes were as cold as ice, and her whole body was brimming with a strong aura. She said word by word, "So you're here to watch the fun?"
Shang Yao's heart trembled slightly, and she actually didn't dare to look at Lin Huayin's sharp eyes. She slightly swirled the wine glass, and took a sip to cover up her embarrassment, "Sister Lin, you're thinking too much."
How did she know that I'm here to watch the fun?
For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Shang Yao's mind. But in the end, she felt relieved.
That's right. Father guessed that there might be some fun to watch tonight. Then what about Lin Huayin, who was a part of the plot? Wouldn't she know better?
It's just that she guessed father's guess right away, and her mind was a little too terrifying. It was hair-raising. As if her soul was seen through, and her clothes were stripped off. She felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Scram." Lin Huayin spat out sharp swords, and slowly lifted the wine glass, her eyebrows slightly drooping. "Before I get angry."
